Shop Local and Spice Up Your School Supply List

Before heading out to larger chain stores for school supplies, you might consider  supporting our local "Mom and Pop" shops here the Rivertowns As the number of empty storefronts has increased in the Rivertowns, so has the concern of sustaining the independent businesses that remain.

With this in mind, we at Patch have singled out some Rivertowns stationery and gift stores that carry school supplies to give you an idea of their selections...and some novelty stores that offer items that may help your kids warm up to the idea of going back to school!
